On today’s episode of the Nila Extract, I’m proud to introduce the talented and rising star, Vicky Pasion. This Filipina-Sri Lankan singer-songwriter seeks out and successfully embodies the phenomenal talents of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, even titled ‘London’s latest musical maverick’ in accordance with Wonderland Magazine! We begin with a conversation about representation in the music industry, and the struggles that come with mixed heritage, alongside its impact on people of colour. We definitely have a bonding experience over our qualms with personal identity, and much more. I even get into the nits and grits of the Academy Award Nominations, and finish off with a super fun game of “Losing The Plot” with everybody’s favourite, Rob!
Make sure to check out her 2022 EP, Soul Star for a timeless mix of pop’d up R&B and soul fusion that’ll (probably) fix all your problems.
